With summer in full swing and temperatures reaching 100 degrees or more, it is time to start finding things to do this summer that include the AC. Our friends over at the Young County Olney Senior Cub Center have the perfect way to enjoy good company, AC and a fun afternoon. The Cub Center offers Bingo every Wednesday from 10:30 am till 11:30 AM, its free and there are always plenty of prizes for the winners. After Bingo hang around for good food and continued conversation with good friends, the Cub Center serves up a delicious, nutritious and low cost lunch Monday through Fridays at noon. The last Thursday of every month the Cub Center celebrates birthday month with cake and a rousing round of Happy Birthday sung by all attendees. The Cub Center is located at 302 South Ave B in Olney.
